RIP: Robert Anton Wilson 1932-2007
2007 January 13
After a long illness, Robert Anton Wilson, died on January 11.
Various people, R. U. Sirius, Fr. Jordan+, Bro. Jeremy, Bill Harryman (from whom I got the news), lvx23 and I’m certain many others offer tributes both short and long.
I read “The Illuminatus! Trilogy” when I was 18… Bob is almost single-handedly responsible for the odd shapes that remain embedded in the interior of my cranium to this day. Thanks to Bob, I’d read Leary talking about LSD as a sacrament before I got drunk for the first time. He led me to Korzybski and to Crowley, Bob was my first spiritual teacher.
He was an original. The world is a slightly smaller and much sadder place without him.
We’ll miss you, mate.
